He seem’d to love her, and her youthful cheek
Vv'ore for a while the transient bloom of joy;
And her heart throbb’cl with hopes she could not
sptattk,
Z‘-‘cw to tleliglzt-, and new the ecstacy.
He won that heart in its simplicity,
All nndisguiscd in its young tenderness ;
And smiling, say.’ that he, and only he,
Had power at once to wound it, or to bless.
Shegzrvecto him her innocent affection,
And the warm feelings of her gttileless bro‘-list 3
And from the storms oflife she sought protection
In his dear love, her home of earthly rest :
In this sweet trust. her opening days were Nest,
And joyously she hail‘tl her coming years;
For well she knew, that even if tlistrest,
There would be one kind hand to dry her tears.
He left her--and in trouble she: awoke
From her young_ tlrc-.ttn of bliss ; but mur-
tured not
Over her silent Sllili:!iD§fR, nor spoke
To any one upon her cruel lot.
You wt gd have dcem’ti that ht: had been forgot,
Or thougltt her bosom callous to the stroke;
But in her cheek there was one hectic spot ;

And deeper and more deep the painful flush

RECULLECTIONS OI? A SOLDLER’S D4\UGlI'I‘.ER-
At the commencement of the rcvolrtiionary
war, my father had Zjiltllllttl the age, ‘-Vhcn the
mind yields most easily to the passion for milita-
ry ;flI~ry, and he was r:«.non;_: the first who was en-
.-ollcrl under the banner of American liberty.
‘fire sentiment of ftectlr.-m was electric, and no
age or sex was CI-'§t'lTi[|l.(it'l from its influence. '.‘-.‘he
_for:t’l mother who had shrunl: from exposing the
darling of her bosom to the slightest personal
danger now beheld with proud satisfaction that
son decoratetl with the knapsack her own hands
had made, and t:'zreer‘full° resiggned him to the call
of patriotism. . V
My venerable §.',l‘_Z-m(lSil‘€, *‘.'vho.*n I can just re-
member as an old man with snowy locks, who
l.lSt(l to pacify my infant clamours \\ilh tales of
military pron ess, was often heard to boast that he
led five sons tothe battle of llunker-lrill. _
The third of these sorts was he from‘ ttltoml
inherited that spirit of patriotism, which has ac-
companied me through life. With feelings which
neither time nor sorrow can obliterate, I review
the scenes ofmy childhood, and while my brave
parent, bonding with age and infirmity, is verg-
ing to the grave, a desire to snatch his memory
from oblivion prompts me to record the following
detail. '
Some of the brightest years of my existence
were passed in the vicinity of llurrker-llill, antll
was early taught to veneratc that spot, as connect-
ed with a display of_ the magnanimous virtues. It
was to phat spot my galltrnt father led his family
of spr-igjluly boys, and, and over the grave of \Var-
l'(:ll, inculc-.rte lessons of heroism anti virtue. Nor
was 1 always excluded from the p;trt_v, for though
my father believed that nature had tlesigrred me
for a l_lI')lllCSllC sphere, he did not believe that an
ardent love of liberty, and a thorough estimation
of its value, purchased by theblood ofmy fath-
ers, could unfit me for the discharge of the im-
portant duties which Providence has assigned. to
woman.
It was a fine morning in May, and nature seem-
ed to have communicated her smile to the heart,
and tliffnsetl ajoyous serenity over all its feelings.
-when my three little brothers anti myself receiv-
ed the welcome summons to prepare to attend
-our parent in his ttiorning excursion. ‘ \Vhither
sh-._:ll we walk. said he, as we sallietl forth, with
all the eagerness of childhood ; ‘ To llunker-hill,’
was the spontaneous reply of every little voice
and to ilunker-hill my father led the way. ,
Days ofartless innocence, alas! ye are fled for
ever. Never can I recall the sportive hilarity
with which we lightly bounded over the intcrja-
cent fields, never regain the innocent gaiety and
improvident lightness of heart, that, under pres-
ent enjoyment, shot the future from my view.
Yeti memory_, oft retreatls the flowery way, and
5-5;-the visions of the past, looses the sense of the
present, and the anticipation of the future.
\Vith that buoyancy of spirit that refuses to
yield to weariuess, we climbed the ascent, and
found ourselves on the summit. from whence we
were presented with a view ofthe whole peui:rsu-
la, with the bay anti harbour of Boston. My fu-
ther pointed out the relative position of the ar-
mies, and entered into a minute detail of events,
which abler historians have recorded ; they will
not. therefore, occupy a place inthis narration.
lilis own personal adventure, anti narrow es-
cape from a living; grave, are all that filial piety
will justify this feeble attempt to penetrate.
‘ Pray papa.’ said my eldest brother ‘ was it
here you received that ugly wound that had near-
ly cost you your life 2’
‘ It was on this very spot, my son. behind this
hreastwork but the story is loop’-..you must
have patience, and let me commence at the be-
ginning.’
Each little heart beat high with expectation,
‘and mtrtually promising profound attention, we
listened to the f0ll()\VIl1t}; tale.
‘ You see that narrow neck ofland yonder, that
unites the peninsula of Charlestown to the adja-
cent country.-——Over that isthmus, "it became my
duty to lead the little baud under my command,
to join the main army, in the entrenchment,
where we now stand. You see how it is exposed
tothc water-—-well, thcrc lay the Glasgow frigate,
across that pass, while severalfloating batteries,
and the fortification on Copps’ Hill, endeavoured
to annoy the troops on the hill, and drive them
from the entrcnchmeut-.
‘ My little band hatl each the spirit ofa Leoni-
das, and not a murmur was heard when I ordered
to attempt gaining the bill, by runtiing singly a- t
ed was my poor drummer, who was killed, not
iii-re paces from me ; but the next, not at all de-
ter‘red by the fate of his tcomratle, commenced
the rat:e, and gotover in sai§=.ty. In like manner
most ofour ‘rtt‘OlC band succeeded, and one hon-
est fellow, as he bowed to the ‘-\"f.-‘Ki of command,
thus addressed me, ‘Captain, 2 _see it is close
dodging, but let me once get safely Over: fmtl 1'11
spend my heart’s last drop for you, and bring you
'oll'again, dead or alive, that I will.’
‘ This honest fellow was a native -tlf Ireland:
and about slit months previous, confined for debt
in the prison at Salem, whence I releast:d him,
on condition that he would culist—and never man
was blest with a more devoted friend than Mur-
phy M’Culloch proved to me.
‘ lwas the last to make the adventurous attempt,
and though the ball whizzcd about my head, none
were permitted to touch me, and we gained the
entrenchment, and passed into the line of battle.
“ On this spot, as near as I can recollect, I stood,
and endeavored to do my duty, as a soldier of
liberty. I received a ball through my left simul-
tler, but these were more trilles, and I stood my
ground in spite of them.
‘The gallant and g’-.nct'ouS ‘,V-arren was on
horseback, passing from one end of the line to
the other, arrirnattng the troops to a vigorotis de-
fence ; and every heart hailetl him with love and
gratittrtlc;
‘ lle had_ever distinguishutl me with peculiar
marks of friendship, and as he passed the spot
where I stood, he contlescundcd to address me
with words of cordial recognition. I know not
whether any historian has recorded the last words
ofthat hero, but believe they were ztdtlrcssed to
myself. ‘ 4111/ you.=zgfrz’end,‘ said he, as he turn-
ed to lent’: me, ‘ do your duty, _/in- the salvation
0/‘our couzrtry tlr/zcvzcls on this duy’s action.’
‘ He had not moved ten paces, when Isa-w him
fall. At that moment a shell burist by my side-
and I was thrown several feet into the air, and
precipitatetl violently to the ground.
‘ A fragment of the broken shell .-.truck me in
the i2“C'.lSl, and caused a contusion ofthe sternum.
and the violent shock my whole systetrt sustained
took from me the power of motion.
‘ Blood gushctl from my nro‘titlr, nose, antl ears,
and I lay covered with dust, unable to speak. or
move, but for some time perfectly conscious;
‘ I remember to have heard Colonel 13- ---who
was my fatlrer’s friend, excluim,‘ William is dead
then! well he died like a soldier 1
‘ I felt the pressure of his hand upon my fore-
head, as he leanedover me, and added in a softer
tone, ‘ Ile’s gone! poor fcllovli but I'll take his
swortl-'-'-the regulrus shall never get that.’
‘ This stvortl was a present from ‘Warren-, at-ttl
though, in that awful moment, my soulseemed
fluttering on the verge of eternity, it gave me in-
expressrhle pleasure, to find that the gift of friend-
ship was likely to be preserved.
‘ A faintness now came over me. antl I heard
no more, and for what succeeded, am indcbte‘
to the observation of Colonel B.---.
‘ The Arnet’ic:t'ns fought with determination‘ and
bravery, ttntil l.l‘.ril' last round of ammunition was
expended, and they were reluctantly compelled
to retreat.
‘ My poor Irisl! soldier, actuated by a‘ sentim-
ent that should imtnorralize his name, now dc-
claretl Z/IL’ Britzislt N/lollftf m-nrr [save his Ca/.-‘min,
alive or dead.-1-lc sought among the slain for
the breathless form of one he loved, and at first re-
cognised the object of his search, among a heap
of human bodies, which some resolute soldier,
where the breastwork happened to be too lrigh,
had piled up‘ to stand on.
‘ lie bore the inanimate hotly on his shoulder,
from the scene of carnage; but, being unable,
thus loaded, to keep up with his companions, a
shot from the pursuers tet‘minatetl his life, when
the main body of l.ll_9.-f1‘Cll'€1llll)g army was out of
danger. '
‘ Some friends who knew us, passing imntetli-
ately after, thought they tliscoveretl in me. signs
ofrcturning life, and by th-:ir means I was con-
veyed to the hospital.’
-3y this time, the little auditors were in tears,
and even \Vat-ren was awhile tL-rtgotterr, in admi-
ration oftlte fidelity of the Iflnll soldier.
My father though a brave man, antl :\ soldier,
wept—-and though the lapse of twenty years has
presented new and varied objects to my mind, I
am not ashamed that a kindred tear has l)i’0l.lC(l
the page that records his story.
Recovering his usual cotnposttre,and addressing
himself particularly to me, my father continued :
‘ ‘What follows, is an example ofjisnzale lreroism
and tenderness, which, if recorded on the page
of history, might form a counterpart to the story
ofthe Roman mother, who died'frotn the effect
ofjoyful surprise, when her sort whom -'.-‘he tho‘t

‘ tvlymnther had !'_CCCiV‘€(l the news that her dar-
ling had fztllen in battle——— but she .5-/zct! no tear.
‘ Her son had tlone his duty, and what more,
in these times of peril, could a virtuous mother
desire I Agree-able to the primitive custom ofour
fathers, the whole family appeared at church the
next sabbath, clothed in habrlimt,-nts of sorrow,
and in the note which the mini:-.ter read for the
decettsetl, was an expression of triumph that he
had fallen for liberty.
‘The next morning, as my mother sat by her
window, intently watching some little shrubbery,
which'the hand of her departed child had planted,
she discovered thron_s;h the vista of the trees that
em'oowered our peaceful dwelling, a litter, slowly
winding along the road.
‘ The hope of being able to afford relief or re-
freshment to El wounded soldier, drew my moth-
er to the little gate that separated her own cultiv-
ated lawn from the highway. -
‘ \Vill yott stop and rest ll said she, to the man
who conducted the litter-——‘ We go no farther,’
was the rcply.—-She heard no_ morc——the truth
flashed upon her mind, and sllcfaintcd.
‘ Long and tenderly was I nursed by that hero-
ic woman, and though she sympathisctl in every’

.‘3'uch was my father’s tale—-could I hear it, and
ever forget that I am a soldier’s daughter ? Nev-
er, never. Recollections of patriotism are im-
pressed on every page of my existence, and sen-
timents of freedom twined with every fibre of
my heart.

From tlze ./Va!z'07zal ./Idvocatr.
./Ynccclotcjs of Vc7ztrz'/oquiam.-—-In the month of
August, 1799. the celebrated Ventriloqtrist, Le
Sugg, was at Kew, in England. Collecting some
old rags which he forrnetl into the shape ofa child,
he went to a baker's in the town, when the oven
being heated for rolls, and the child crying, the
baker observed it was ivory unpleasant to have
cross children." The other watched an opportu-
nity,tht'ew the child into the flames, declaring
that he would not be troubled with it any longer;
the cries increased for a moment, and then died
away. The baker, frantic, exclaimed,‘ Oh i you
villain !’ and the ventriloquist running into the
street, the baker followed him, crying‘ stop him,
he is a murderer, he has thrown his child into
my oven 1’ He was taken before. a niagistrate,
whom he made acquainted with the trick, and
\Vl1O requested the ventriloquist would use his
power, and bring the child before him : the lat-
ter said it was in the baker's pocket, from whence
as the baker supposed, he again heard it cry, he
ran off, estclaiming, ‘it is the devil, it is the dev-
il 1’
In the month of November, 1799, he was on
his journey to March, in the isle of Ely, when he
saw some courttrymen loading oats, in a field.—-
Seeing an empty cart going to the field, he took
this opportunity of cnteriirg into discourse with
the driver of it,*aud unobserved by the man,threw
his figure of a sailor, which he carried with him,
and into which he threw his voice, into the emp-
ty curt. At the same time alighting from his
carriage, he said he should like to go and see the
state in which the oats were; he accordingly
proceetletl to the field. ‘The men began loading
their cart ; and when their work was about half
accomplished the mail coach came on the road,
and Le Sngg'S carriage rather stopping the way,
the pttssertgers inquired whose it was. They
were answt:rcd, Le Sugg’s, and that he was gone.
to alarm the countrymen in the out field: the
jasscngers prevailed on the coachman to stop and
see the effect ventriloquisnt would have on these
people : they assented and did not repent it.--
Le Sttgg now threw his voice into the cart-—-‘ l
sltall be sttfibcatetl.’ The ventrilt.-quist express-
ed ‘much surprise ; the countrymen stared at each
other, seemingly’astonished, the voice still repeat-
ing the cry of ‘take me out father! I shall be
smothered 1’ Le Sugg now irtquir-etl ofthem if
they had any children with them ; they answer-
ed no. lie then asked, ‘ where are you my dear,
and \\l1€l‘C-(lid you come from i’ The voice re-
plies. ‘ I’m in the bottom of the cart, I came for
a ride from 5'-chonl, from Doddington. Obi pray
make haste, or I shall die l’ The countrymen
now became quite alarmed, and Le Sugg affect-
ing ;;-reat conccrh, and at the same time a stem-
ing pzssittn, exclaimed, ‘ makejhaste, unload, its
my rascal ofa boy that I have just left at schocl,
at Dotltlirrgton, he is run away.’ The countrymen
immediately unloaded, and when they had got
near the bottom, the voice faintly utters,‘Oh!
take care-'-oft! you hart‘: run the fork into me——
oh I I am kille‘.-.'.‘ Le Sag‘-g cxclaims, ‘ (Sod for-
bid l——-oh! you villains; if you have killed my
boy, I’ll have you both hange:l ;' anti immctliat:-
ly lcapirig intotlre cart, snatches up the figure,
(which was about three feet ltigh, and very
well executed, particularly its face and eyes)
cxclaiming ‘ oh! my poor child isgleatl 1’ One of

watsltetl; Le Sugg then threw his voice into the
litiure, which trttexed with a sigh. ‘ where aml 3"
The countrymen, transported with joy at the re-
turning life, exclaims, ‘here, surl here, snr i
thank tlltztl 1’ The fi‘_gure then proceetletl with
‘ sure, l’\‘u passed the silent gulf of death, and
now am landed on the Elysian shore.’ The coun-
trymen excl-aim, ‘ees, sur, cos, you bees safe on
shore on the isle of lily; and thank God we bees
safe too, for we thought just l?~‘U\V we should all ha
been hanged for your gentlemauship.’ The
tr-.tvrller“s now returned to their coach. and Lt
Strgt; with his son as be calletl himdo his carriage,
after laugltiug ircartiry at the atlventure.
Another ventriloqttist, by the name of Gille
trzts unct: walking with an rld military man. who
alw-.-._,:- assurrretl a stately air as he went along.---
His r“aisc0ut‘sc was always about sieges and bat-
tles, and himself the hero of‘the campaign. To
repress this inortlin-ate, vanity, Gille resolved to
give him a dose in his own way. Being arrived
in a bye-place, near the borders of a forest, our‘
soldier imagined that he heard some one from the
top of a tree cry out ‘ It is not every one that
wears rt sword knows how to make use ofit.'._
‘ VVho is that impudent fellow ?’ asked the son of
I\'lars. ‘ Probably, rejoined the other it is seine
shepherd at bird-nesting.’ ‘Come hither exclaim-
ed the voice which now seemed to descend along
the tree, come hither, ifyou be not afraid 1' ‘ As
for that, returned the soldier with the most mar-
tial air, and setting himselfin a posture of attack,
I shall soon make you easy 1’ ‘ \Vhat are you a-
bout then? cried Gille, taking him by the arm,
Do not you know that you will be made game of?’
‘ A bullying air is not always the sign of true
Ct>Ut"-113%,’ interrnptetl the voice ; which still ap-
peartd to be sliding along the tree. ‘ This is no
shepherd,’ observed Gille. ‘ But still I will chas-
tise him for his impertinence,' cried out the oth-
er. ‘ VVitness Hector flying before Achilles I’
cried out the voice immediately after, upon which
the exasperated soldier, drawing his sword, plun-
ged it with all his might into a bush that grew at
the foot of the tree. A rabbit instantly started
from it, and ran off. ‘Behold I-lector, said Gille‘
while you yourselfarc Achilles.’ The stroke of
pleaSanIt‘_V disarmed the warrior, while it con-
founded him. "He demanded of his companion
what was meant by it, and the otherthen explain-
ed to him that he had two voices, which enabled
him to act the part oftwo distinct persons ; the
one was that which he was then using.and the oth-
etxwhich was lrcurd, as ifat a considerable dis.-
